With no reliable treatment or vaccine yet for the coronavirus, the arrival of summer has created a dilemma for the $18 billion summer camp industry.

Her son was good about doing his schoolwork independently while sheltering in place at home, but now, with remote school ending, she feels she needs to hire a babysitter to watch him a few times a week to keep him occupied as she starts going back into the office.

The sleepaway camp is open and implementing social distancing guidelines, plus other changes to its normal operations due to the pandemic. Her children, especially her 9-year-old son, an outgoing kid who just won an award from school for being the friendliest student in class, miss face-to-face time with peers.

Going to camp is, of course, a privilege afforded to families who have the means to enroll their children. “At the end of the day, we had to look each other in the eye and say, ‘Can we live with the what-ifs and the God-forbids?’ And every time I thought about that question, I got really, really uncomfortable, and Joey did too,” Lori Waldman said.

No vaccine for a virus from which children has a near 100% recovery rate? Whatever will we do?!!

If no one is objecting to the mass protests going on solely because of COVID-19 concerns, then it is time to open everything back up.
